  • Process for the preparation of vanadium-containing mixed metal soap solutions
    Patent number: 4720352
    Abstract: Solutions of complexed mixed soaps of vanadium and at least one other metal in organic solvents are produced by the reaction of an inorganic vanadium compound, an oxidizable metal, and an organic monocarboxylic acid, in the presence of oxygen, water, and an inert, water-immiscible organic solvent.

  • Process for the stabilization of metal-containing hydrocarbon fuel compositions
    Patent number: 4518395
    Abstract: A hydrocarbon fuel composition containing from 5 ppm to 500 ppm of a metal that normally catalyzes oxidative deterioration of said fuel composition is stabilized by incorporating in it from 1% to 25% by volume of a stabilizer that is an alkanol having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a glycol having 2 to 9 carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof.

  • Process for the production of oil-soluble metal salts
    Patent number: 4438038
    Abstract: Oil-soluble metal salts are produced by the reaction of a polyvalent metal, such as nickel or cobalt, with an organic monocarboxylic acid in the presence of an alkali metal salt catalyst, water, oxygen, and an inert, water-immiscible organic solvent.

  • Thixotropic agents for organic solvent-based surface-coating compositions and surface-coating compositions containing same
    Patent number: 4421565
    Abstract: A thixotropic agent for organic solvent-based surface-coating compositions is the product of the reaction of a polypentaerythritol component comprising tripentaerythritol with a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid component comprising acids having 20 to 22 carbon atoms in amounts that provide from 0.40 mole to 0.96 mole of carboxyl groups per mole of hydroxyl groups.

  • Drier systems for water-borne surface-coating compositions
    Patent number: 4389328
    Abstract: Water-borne surface-coating compositions comprise an oxidizable organic film-forming resinous vehicle and a drier system that comprises a cobalt salt-potassium salt complex and that has a total metal content of 5% to 14% by weight. The drier system may also contain other metal salts, e.g., calcium salts and zirconium salts of monocarboxylic acids.
